FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas had overcome size disadvantages at times this season, but TCU's Amy Okonkwo was just too big a hurdle to clear.
The 6-foot-2 senior poured in a game-high 36 points and grabbed 14 rebounds to help the Horned Frogs claim a hard-fought 82-78 victory over Arkansas in the third round of the Women's National Invitation Tournament on Thursday night in front of a frenzied crowd of 4,718 in Walton Arena.
Okonkwo proved to be a handful for the Razorbacks, scoring inside and out and from the free-throw line. She hit a three-pointer with 1:04 left to give TCU a 73-68 advantage, then made 7 of 8 free throws over the final 45 seconds.
